Try flying from Amsterdam. It's usually a hell of a lot cheaper than flying from here, including the flight to Amsterdam! My friend from the states does this every time he comes over and that's regular with his business. Yes my boss used to live in Boston u.s and everytime he came back over or went...

bumper scuff and key scratch

I have some scuffing on my colour coded bumper are there any products I can buy to sort it out.

Also I have a key scratch down the whole length of the car. It's not down to bare metal but looks sh*t. Is there anything I can do to improve it alittle..

Cheers,Mark...

If you fill out insurance quotes on line they actually list what they class as a mod and some insurance companies class things like aircon, climate control and things like that as mods.

Birmingham's sh*t.

I had a quote earlier on for discs alround and pads and was surprised to find that on the print out for the parts it listed disc's for audi a4 and pads for golf 2/3.

Doe's this sound right. Are the cross model/manufacturer parts.
